MANCHESTER -- 55 students working in the New Hampshire Food Industry have received scholarships from the New Hampshire Food Industries Education Foundation (NHFIEF). Each scholarship is valued at $1,000 for the school year.

“This is the largest number of scholarships ever given by the Foundation in its 27 year history” stated NHFIEF Secretary/Treasurer, John M. Dumais. “We are very proud that we have been able to assist so many worthy students.” Since its inception, the Foundation has provided over $500,000 in scholarships to eligible students.

In order to raise funds for future scholarships, the NH Grocers Association presents Scholarship Snow Day on February 26 at Bretton Woods. Proceeds from a full day of fun on the mountain will go toward the scholarship fund. Ski packages for adults and children will include 3 meals, lift ticket, and more. For adults just $99, and for children ages 17 and under, the cost is $50.

Philbrick’s Fresh Market of Portsmouth and North Hampton is a proud supporter of the New Hampshire Food Industries Education Foundation and the NH Grocers Association.
